21、Death rates for heart disease in Britain have dropped by more than 40 percent in a decade，UK scientists will report today．

Wide uptake of cholesterol—busting statin drugs(降胆固醇药)，healthier lifestyles and better medical practices have seen a huge reduction in deaths caused by heart attacks，stroke and other cardiovascular(心血管的) problems．

However，heart disease remains Britain’s biggest killer．

The new study，by experts at Oxford University，shows there has been a 44.4 percent drop in death rates among men in the UK and a 43.6 percent drop among women linked to heart problems in the ten years to 2011．

The team compared death rate associated with cardiovascular disease across Europe．They found that Britain has one of the best records in Europe，with 342 deaths as a result of heart disease per 100，000 men in 2011，and 232 per 100，000 women．

Some nations---including Ukraine，Macedonia and Moldova—see more than 1,000 heart deaths per 100，000 of the population．

Overall，heart disease causes 45 percent of all deaths across Europe，but only 27 percent in the UK．The study，led by Dr Nick Townsend，showed that cardiovascular disease is mainly a disease of old age．

But researchers said that across Europe it still causes more than 1.4 million deaths in those aged under 75 and nearly 700，000 deaths in under 65s．Dr Townsend said：“Cardiovascular disease results in 49 percent of deaths among women and 41 per cent among men．”

【1】From the text we can know_____．

A．heart disease no longer threatens the British

C. A scientific study   D. A personal diary

22、In 1665, Johannes Vermeer, one of the greatest painters in Netherlands, put the last drop of paint onto a canvas and completed his masterpiece “Girl With a Pearl Earring.” On an April day 357 years later, Janine Strong slowed her bike to stop, paused her fitness app, and watched unexpectedly as the snaking line of her cycling route drew the shape of Vermeer’s masterpiece over the streets of Brooklyn.

Ms. Strong creates what has come to be known as “GPS art” — a practice that uses the Global Positioning System mapping capabilities of modern phone apps to create digital drawings with an athlete’s route. It has grown with the widespread availability of satellite tracking for use by ordinary people. In fact, the idea ham been around stance before the popularity of smartphones for fitness like Strava released in 2009.

In 2003, The New York Times Margarine told of how Jeremy Wood ant the idea for GPS art. Mr. Wood said while he was using a GPS tracker on a flight and the plane flew in a holding pattern above Heath-row Airport, he was attracted by the pattern appearing on his Garmin GPS device. In recent years, technology has advanced enough to create visual maps in real time using a phone or smart watch.

“I get bored cycling on the same path in the same streets,” Ms Strong said. “Creating GPS art gives me more reasons to hit the pavement, which makes cycling a lot easier. I always have a big smile on my face when it works out and I upload it and it’s done,” she added. “It’s a very satisfying feeling.”

To complete her digital vision of “Girl With a Pearl Earring.” she biked almost 50 miles around southern Brooklyn, carefully checking Strava to make sure each turn, circle, and straight line was achieving the shape of carrying and head covering of Vermeer’s original.

【1】What information can we get about GPS art?

A．It is rarely used by common people.

B．It arose after the popularity of mobile phones

C．It is based on apps’ GPS mapping functions.

D．It is a practice of creating realistic drawings.

【2】Which word can best describe Janine Strong?

A．Diligent.

B．Innovative.

C．Generous.

D．Considerate.

【3】What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A．The origin of GPS art.

B．The prospect of GPS art.

C．The function of a GPS tracker.

D．The advancement of a GPS device.

【4】Who will be most likely to create GPS art?

A．Painting lovers.

B．Game players.

C．Software developers.

D．Keen runners.

23、When robots and humans interact in a shared environment, it is important for them to move in ways that prevent conflicts or accidents. To reduce the risk, roboticists have developed numerous techniques that monitor an environment, predict the future actions of humans, identify safe trajectories (轨迹) for a robot and control its movements accordingly.

Predicting human behavior and movements, however, can be incredibly challenging. Determining the future movements of a robot, on the other hand, could be far easier. If human users could anticipate the movements of robots and the effects these will have on the surrounding environment, they should then be able to easily adapt their actions in order to avoid accidents .

With this in mind, researchers at Kyushu University in Japan recently created a near-future perception system named Previewed Reality that allows human users to forecast future changes in their environment, which could then inform their decisions and guide their actions. This system compiles a data-set containing information about the position of objects, humans and robots within the same environment, to then produce simulations (模拟) of events that could take place in the near future. These simulations are presented to human users via Virtual Reality (VR) or Augmented Reality (AR) headsets.

To collect information about the position of different objects, robots, and humans in a shared environment, the researchers used a number of strategically placed sensors, including optical trackers that monitored the movements of objects or robots, and a RGB-D camera which mainly tracked human actions. The data gathered by the sensors was then fed to a motion planner and a dynamics simulator. Combining these two system components allowed the researchers to forecast changes in a given environment and synthesize (合成) images of events that are likely to occur in the near future, from the viewpoint of a specific human. Human users could then view these synthesized images simply through a VR headset or an AR display.

“This system provides human-friendly communication between a human and a robotic system.” the researchers explained. In their next studies, they plan to expand and simplify the perception system, for instance by creating a lighter and more affordable version that can be accessed on smart phones or other portable devices.

【1】Why did the researchers develop the system?

A．To predict future changes in human behavior.

B．To record developments in the field of robotics.

C．To enhance safety of human-robot interactions.

D．To make good use of virtual reality technology.

【2】What is special about Previewed Reality?

A．It simulates near-future events via VR headsets.

B．It enables human users to perceive future events.

C．It guides robots to track humans’ movements easily.

D．It helps determine the location information of objects.

【3】What is paragraph 4 mainly about?

A．Functions of various sensors.

B．New ways to synthesize images.

C．The structure of Previewed Reality.

D．The working process of Previewed Reality.

【4】What might the researchers do in the future?

A．Promote the new version through advertising.

B．Test this perception system with smart phones.

C．Apply some new techniques to robotic systems.

D．Make the system accessible on portable devices.
